Yachtpro Thailand 's base, which include our offices and air-conditioned training rooms, are at the picturesque Yacht Haven Marina on the northern coast of Phuket.

The Yacht Haven Phuket combines safe anchorage for the international yachting fraternity.

With easy access to the open sea, The Yacht Haven provides a gateway to famous local sailing destinations in Phang Nga Bay , with its myriad limestone islands, the stunning coastline of Krabi, the Phi Phi Islands , and the further distant Similan and Surin Islands .

The marina accommodates over 150 boats from small sailing craft through to mega yachts and all types of motor boats.

Waters in the vicinity of Phuket are our primary sailing area. The beauty and contrasts within this relative small area are breathtaking. Most of the most popular anchorages are about a day sail from any of the others.

Ao Phang Nga The sheer sided sea mountains that rise vertically out of Phang Nga Bay form some of Thailand 's most spectacular scenery. While the bay itself is not that large, the number of islands and inlets to be explored ensure that no matter how long a yachtsman spends here, new experiences will always be nearby. Our Favourite Anchorages: Koh Hong, Koh Yang, Koh Roi, Koh Kuda, Koh Hong (Krabi) & Koh Chong Lat.Krabi & Koh Dam Group The stunning beaches, sheltered bays and sea-mountain scenery of Krabi are world famous. This are is another favorite cruising area and, as with most places, facilities are developing. Our Favorite Anchorages: Ao Nang, Ao Muang, Rai Le, Ao Nam Mao & Koh Dam HokPhi Phi IslandsSaid to be one of the three most beautiful islands [Mist] in the world, Phi Phi is a major tourist destination. The combination of sheer cliffs and idyllic bays and beaches make cruising in the group an absolute delight. Words of warning, the more popular bays have a lot of tourist activity so are best visited early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Our Favourite Anchorages: Ton Sai Bay , Holiday Inn Beach , Maya Bay (Day), Loh Sam (Day)East Coast Area of Phuket Although the eastern coast of Phuket itself is generally unattractive, some of the islands off it are quite attractive and provide both sheltered anchorages and interesting stop-overs. Our Favourite Anchorages: Koh Rang, Koh Wa , Koh Naka YaiIslands to the South The islands further south from Phuket are beautiful and afford good anchorages. They are less crowded than the nearer islands. Our Favourite Anchorages: Koh Lanta, Koh Mak. Koh NgaiWest Coast of Phuket The west coast of Phuket offers some of the clearest water and finest beaches of the region. Consequently, the highest density of hotel and beachside activity in the region is found here. All the anchorages listed below are ideal in the northeast monsoon. Our Favourite Anchorages: Nai Harn Bay , Kata Bay , Ao Nai Yang
